Yes, sorry, I missed that.

I looked in the bug report thread, and ISTM that the consensus was to
not add such a variable, instead fixing all the code that used
`x-show-tip' directly to use `tooltip-show'.

In general, using `x-show-tip' directly comes with many pitfalls, some
of which are not easy to come by, so authors of third-party Lisp should
not call that function directly without a detailed understanding of the
different layers of tooltip machinery.  That understanding includes
providing an appropriate `timeout' parameter.
